(I am however surprised to learn that Exxon-Mobil is not an American company and has not a single American employee) You apparently think that I should essentially do the equivalent of the following: Buy Mobil 1 for $5.50 and then send $3.30 to you because you are an independent American businessman. "If you want to discuss AMSOIL products..," I don't. Nor do I want to discuss Amway products, Avon products, Mary Kay products, Tupperware, Pampered Chef products, Partylite products, etc. |

Replying to: jeffyscott (Nov 08, 2009 1:59 pm) So what is the point of this amsoil stuff, again? Why would I pay a 60% premium over mobil 1?" Can you share that sale ad for Mobil 1 that meets the European requirements for $5.50 a quart? The Amsoil European is available any time at $6.41 a quart wholesale when you buy a case of 12 quarts. I see you can get Mobil 1 European formula 0w40 for $7.82 a quart for a case of 6. And the Mobil 1 has a weaker formula. |

Replying to: vipasynthetics (Nov 08, 2009 2:14 pm) But how does that amazing amsoil get sold? Hmm... "You can start an independent AMSOIL Dealership for under $50"

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 08, 2009 2:08 pm) Is this public information? It sounds a bit scandalous actually, if true. Sounds like product placement in a movie or something. I'm kinda skeptical if you don't mind me sayin'..." Feel free to call BMW and ask what the fee is to get on their oil list. |

Replying to: vipasynthetics (Nov 08, 2009 2:14 pm) If that's true, why do I keep finding amzoil pushers peddling the stuff in every forum they can try to take over? >>and you won't find AMSOIL in the nationally known retail chains or auto part stores.......... Another false statement> oreillys is pretty much an auto parts store!!!! And it's national!!!!   http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/ASO0/ATM01.oap?mn=Amsoil&mc=ASO&partTyp- e=N1191&parentPartType=C0252 Tired of reading the Amsoil pushers. In the detailing discussions there was a "No Zaino Posts." Here we need a "No amzoil posts."

Just think for the Zaino pushers: Pay a small fee to BMW for testing or inclusion or to VW and think of all the profits the various levels in the MLM would reap from all the extra sales! They wouldn't need to put product into Oreilly's, an auto parts store that's national (under different names apparently). |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 08, 2009 3:33 pm) http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/ASO0/ATM01.oap?mn=Amsoil&mc=ASO&partTyp- - - - - e=N1191&parentPartType=C0252 I tried to find it on your link and it says "Sorry, no stores in your area were found with this item available." and I live in the Houston area. I've never seen it in any O'reilly store. Retail stores with more than 12 to a chain are not allowed to sign up to sell AMSOIL. However, I do sell to independently owned individual stores such as NAPA, CarQuest, BMW dealerships and others.
